Description

The Tripartite’s North South Corridor (NSC) Aid for Trade Programme was designed as a transit and transport value chain and to address transport constraints in a sequenced and multi-modal way. The NSC programme comprises inter-related projects that address: road infrastructure; road transport facilitation; management of railway systems and rail infrastructure; physical and procedural improvements at border crossings; port infrastructure; management of air transport; and energy interconnectors. The NSC programme was officially launched at a High Level Meeting held in Lusaka in April 2009. This report gives an overview of progress in implementing the NSC programme over the past two and a half years.
